Surviving primarily with his wits and a strong defense (and by descending as slowly as possible). He still wields an unenchanted rapier, with a lot of offense derived for his bow and misc wands.

No FA, SI of any of that stuff yet. Heck, he just found his rod of illumination a level or two ago. Jeeez.

Then I found a troll pit which after killing a few trolls, I decided wasn't worth pursuing, yet. After a bit more exploration a found scroll of object location revealed some nifty items, among them an artifact shield and an elven cloak. These items turned out to be entombed in a big-ass vault. The treasures I detected being contained in only about 10% of the massive vault. Well greed got the better of me and I tunneled my way in, my potions of stealth and speed and wand of TO, 9 charges, leading the way.

I traversed a long diagonal corridor leading to the center of the vaults, killing a few things, TOing a few more and sidestepping as many sleeping beasts as I could, and picking up a few un-ID'd items along the way (none of which amounted to anything).

After reaching and securing the center section I had to make my way due east. This required more tunneling (by shovel) and my stealth had worn off by this time. I made it through the wall but the way way was blocked many ogres of some sort. There were too many to kill in melee so I put my trust in the wand of wonder. It had already functioned admirably twice in this vault already. The results were mediocre. By the time the charges were all gone, it killed two or three ogres, but there were many more and I was running dangerously low on CCW.

I made the decision to try to 'shift' toward the good loot, but it took me outside the vault as I suspected it might. Reentering at this point would be suicide so I, with a heavy heart, walked away from that vault and found a staircase leading deeper. DL 32 greeted me with an up staircase and Jenny Greenteeth. I seem to recall that she was a summoner and so, with my pack full and resources low, I abandoned the entire level and took the path back to town.
